Our take on the Calphalon Premier Stainless Steel 12-Piece

The Calphalon Premier 12-piece set is fully clad stainless steel cookware: an aluminum core bonded between stainless layers for even heating across the base and up the sides. The pieces are oven safe and dishwasher safe, and the set covers the everyday jobs — frying, sauteing, boiling and simmering — with glass lids to watch the cooking. It suits cooks moving up from nonstick who want durable, metal-utensil-friendly pans that can go from stovetop to oven. Against cheaper disc-bottom sets it heats more evenly and resists warping; against premium all-clad rivals it gives up some fit and finish and a little browning control.

  • WeightMixedSome find the larger pieces heavy to handle, especially when full.
  • CleanupPraisedOwners like that the pieces go in the dishwasher and clean up without scrubbing.

Questions and answers

Is this set oven safe?
Yes. The stainless pieces are oven safe, so you can sear on the stove and finish in the oven. Check the lid and handle limits before broiling.
Can I use metal utensils on it?
Yes. The cooking surface is stainless steel, so metal spatulas and tongs won't scratch it the way they damage nonstick coatings.
Why does food stick to stainless steel?
Bare stainless isn't nonstick. Preheat the pan, add oil or butter, and let food release on its own before turning it.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes, the set is dishwasher safe. Hand washing keeps the shine longer, but the dishwasher won't harm the steel.
Does it work on induction cooktops?
Stainless steel with a magnetic base works on induction. Confirm each piece is induction compatible before buying if you cook on induction.
What comes in the 12-piece set?
The set includes covered pots and pans for frying, sauteing, boiling and simmering, with glass lids. Piece counts vary by configuration, so check the list for the exact items.
Where is the Calphalon Premier Stainless Steel 12-Piece cheapest?
At Target, for $699.99, as of our latest check.
